Frequently asked questions
Does this verify citation correctness?+
It validates footnote linking, not citation accuracy. Use a CSL-aware tool for citation validation.
What about ibid./op. cit.?+
These are special footnote forms. The tool only validates reference-to-definition linking, not academic shorthand.
Will it work with biblatex?+
Biblatex is LaTeX-specific. For Markdown footnotes only, this tool covers the standard syntax.
